Remittances
Remittances sent to Mexico from the United States dropped 4.6% in 2025, totaling 61,791 million dollars and breaking an 11-year streak of increases. This decline, the sharpest since 2009, is linked to the weakening US labor market and migrants' fear of raids ordered by President Donald Trump. Despite a slight December uptick, six months of the year saw decreases.

Hattem suggests governments should encourage such moves to counter environmental threats.
